[Christopher Kimball]

I just watched I on xfinity on demand, no cost, and really enjoyed it!

The finished car looks right. The show had a bunch of stupid scripted car shows drama, but in general they seemed to do a good job.

It uses a draw-through turbo system but I can’t figure out how the air gets into the engine. It goes through the air cleaner, carb, intake, turbo, intercooler...and then a miracle happens. How does it get from the intercooler back into the engine?

They never show the engine clearly so I wasn’t able to see.
